Bush's press conference today?

Question

To start, I want to point out that I am neither a liberal nor a conservative. I am a lion.
Did anybody catch Bush's press conference today? I heard it on the radio. I thought he gave some good responses. He swayed me toward supporting his Iraqi plan.
Did anyone else listen to it objectively today? What was your take on it?

Objectivity does seem to be a bit of a problem.

Answer 1

So true and its hard to endorse staying in a region that we should not have become involved in militarily .We could of prevented all Islamic people from travel to the united states , Kicked out the Million or two or 20 million that are here and let them explain what freedom is and work to fix there own country instead of running here . I still think we should send them all home . anyone who has been here less then 20 years can leave in the next year and should be forced to . Or they can start making phone calls telling their people to get their act together and peace must happen or they are coming home . To spread their wicked american learned ways cause the americans are kicking them out .
WHO would let the brother of the man who killed your wife live with you . Know one and neither should we . Kick them all to the curb .
That guy muse makes some valid observations . Do you think Bush might be using a combination of uppers and downers to appear normal . Not that Muse said that but Bush did seem a little more together then usual .

Answer 2

I must admit I was distracted by his uncomfortableness while speaking, and his seemingly uneasiness with what he was saying. I wonder if he came off better over the radio than on TV. I really didn't find myself swayed toward supporting any of his plan.

I was wholly uncomfortable with his statement that "money trumps peace." I guess as long as he and his buddies in the white house make money on the war it will be a higher priority than peace.

Answer 3

I didn't have a chance to listen to it today. I was working and I am still currently at work. I'm already a supporter, but hopefully I'll catch a glimpse of it tonight on the news.

Answer 4

Yes, I listened to it. What good responses? How about the dithering in response to David Gregory's question about whether we should believe his claims about Iranian weapons? He started refering to himself in the third person as the Commander in Chief and gave some lame answer that people should not say things like that about the Commander in Chief.

What a disgrace!

Answer 5

I was surprised. He seemed to answer the questions in greater detail than he did in the past. Also, he stayed a lot more focused than usual. I like the fact that he seem to put more importance on diplomacy than armed force. That seemed like a new course for him.

Answer 6

I have to be honest and tell you that I cannot listen to that man with an open mind. I can't get past his huge mistakes to give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to his current decisions. We should never have gone into Iraq in the first place. But since he was hellbent to go in then he should have sent enough troops over in the beginning to secure the country. It is obvious that there weren't enough troops in when we first got there. Now trying to send in more troops is like trying to put a bandaid on a bleeding artery.

Answer 7

It was total BS, in my opinion. Especially this:

"What we do know is that the Quds Force was instrumental in providing these deadly IEDs to networks inside of Iraq. We know that.

And we also know that the Quds Force is a part of the Iranian government. That's a known. What we don't know is whether or not the head leaders of Iran ordered the Quds Force to do what they did."

They don't know anything except they found some weapons with Farsi writing was found in Iraq. Could have been planted by anybody.

Answer 8

confident I observed it and it grew to become into an entire waste of time. popular at 11 a.m. i flow to channel 10 (CBS) to observe "the fee is sturdy" and right this moment i flow there and that i see this CBS particular checklist and it took continuously and that i did no longer even get to ascertain any of TPIR

Answer 9

Didn't catch it, saw the highlights on the news channels. If he didn't say we are leaving Iraq immediately, he said nothing new.

Answer 10

yeah we can't leave them alone, even though they're at civil war. Use another billion dollars on war and leave our own infrastructure alone... Build houses for them but leave our homeless citizens alone... get more soldiers, who doesn't have to pay taxes later on in life, who gets pay for going to college, who gets all the finincal aid without doing anything...the worst punishment for joinning and not going to war is going to prison like that asian guy a while back. Good luck man
